BORN AGAIN..
How a Sister Came to See Her
Duty.

Il was Sabbath evening. the last Sab
bath Of the year, and Miss Roxana
Powell sat in IA comfortable chair before
the fire. While she wiped and adjusted
her glasses, she was telling her sister
Phcbc to go on to bed" if she wanted
to. for she was going to "read a spell"
Miss Powell was stout and broad. with
gray hair stretched back into a tight
knot, keen gray eyes and Il resolutc set
Of mouth and chin. which told that she
was accustomed 10 hold decided opin-
ions and have her own way aboutthings
in general. Phebe Powell was a small,
thin woman: her hair wa sprinkled
with gray, too, but it waved about her
forehead. and the lines of her face were
softer than her sisters.
These two were all that were left of
Deacon Powell's family. At his death
they had sold the farm and bought a
small place in town, where they lived
in a snug way; their family consisting
of themselves, one COW, six hens and
an old yellow eat, each Of which re-
ceiyed almost as much care as if it had
been human.
No two people who were evcr con-
dcmned TO live together were more un-
like than these sisters. RoXana meant
TO be a good woman-so many people
do, and they are astonishcd at their
v ugly doings in attempting to live
out their intentions. No body aims to
be sour and cross-grnincd. RoXana
was Of an independent nature, prac-
Teal, positive. rather blunt, and in
clinca to be obstinate. Yet, witlal, she
was IN orthodox, old-fashioned Chris
tian, loyal TO her church, kind to the
poor, honest in her dealing, and es-
tecncd by the community. Her prompt,
resoIute nature made thorough work of
all her duties. Consequently, she had
none Of the self-condemnation that
comes from neglect of them, and felt at
cas- and upon good terms with herself.
As for Phebe, she had no precise aim
for life, except to go through it, and in
the %plcasantest way. She would have
been amiable, but that she was nervous
and sensitiye-"touchy, Raxana called
it-and had ideas that clashed fearfully
with her sisters, which yielded general
ly to the stronger will, though not
without some contests. Phebe would
haze gone to lectures and concerts, and
bought a new book occasionally, but her
elder sister said:
"Wc 60 to prayer meeting one night |
in the week, and that is enough poking
about in the dark at our time of life
Roxana always said "our time of
life and that nettIcd Phcbe not q lit
tie, as she was fully fifteen years the
younger, and did not feel that she had
yet arrived at ''our time of life" As
to buying now books, it was not to be
thought of, Roxana decided in her per-
emptory manner.
